Why Some Women Say No to Gun Training

About this video

Colion interviews Jara Hutchins, a firearms instructor and founder of the Wade nonprofit, about her background in guns, her self-defense training philosophy, and her work rescuing women from domestic violence situations. Colion and Jara discuss constitutional carry in Texas, women’s self-defense preparedness, the cultural divide between rural and urban gun ownership, and what Colion describes as government overreach and border security concerns.

Key takeaways

  • Colion emphasizes Jara’s view that women in abusive situations must take personal responsibility for their own protection and safety, including learning armed self-defense, rather than relying solely on law enforcement or shelters.
  • According to Colion, Jara teaches that proper firearms training for women must go beyond basic licensing—encompassing malfunction drills, medical training, and realistic adrenaline-inducing scenario work to prepare for real-world encounters.
  • Colion reports Jara’s position that constitutional carry in Texas was the right policy move despite initial backlash from other instructors, and that women should choose firearms and instructors based on realistic self-defense needs, not emotion or marketing.
